Cultural Heritage Xi An Zhonglou Composition 250 Words
Last time I said that Huimin Street is near the Bell and Drum Tower, and the next stop is the Bell and Drum Tower. The Bell and Drum Tower are actually two buildings that echo each other from afar. As the name implies, one has a big clock on it and the other has a big drum on it.
When I climbed the bell tower, a huge clock came into view. The bronze bell shaped like an elephant hangs high on a red wooden frame, and the diameter of the wooden pestle on the side alone is more than 20 cm. You can imagine how ancient bells woke people up from their dreams in the morning.
The whole bell tower is made of wood, with all kinds of pictures and patterns carved on it. Finally, I saw the real "carved beams and painted buildings". I didn't expect such fine workmanship at that time. There are many antiques and grandpa Qi Baishi's works on display in the bell tower, which is absolutely exquisite. Standing on the top of the bell tower, the whole Xi 'an seems to shrink immediately and become a map. The straight road centered on the bell tower extends in four directions: east, west, north and south. It's really strange, why are all the roads in Xi 'an straight?
Drum tower and bell tower are very similar. The most eye-catching thing is a very, very big drum, standing there three meters high and one meter thick! People can't help but want to knock twice. Further on, you will see a whole row of drums with 24 solar terms written on them, which looks like a military parade. It's spectacular and magnificent. There is also a ten-meter-high drum in the Drum Tower. The strangest thing is that there is no seam on the drum surface. How can it be such a big piece of skin?
At night, many dazzling lights hit the bell and drum tower, and the bell and drum tower suddenly became resplendent! Mom said that the building is called "light carving".
The bell and drum tower is really a wonder of the ancient city Xi!
